Review of Off Season

The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: Off Season (1965)
Season 3, Episode 29
Typical Gavin performance
16 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
To correct another commenter, the woman shot by "Kendall" in the last scene is NOT a stranger - she is the wife of the sheriff. Thus, we finally know why former deputy "Woodman" was fired. Now, was Woodman also hitting on Kendall's girlfriend? Possibly. Or he was just messing with the new deputy. Going back to the sheriff's wife...there is some foreshadowing, as her character is presented as being somewhat "flirty" with Kendall.

Gavin gives his standard deadpan performance. Perhaps this was an intentional hiring, to offset the underlying violence in his character's personality.

The innkeeper? Bad casting. Far too cartoonish.

Overall, a good episode - just heavily padded.
